The Best New Menswear Pieces To Buy Right Now

Stutterheim x Marni Long Raincoat

Swedish minimalism meets Italian elegance in this collaboration between raincoat masters Stutterheim and Milanese fashion label Marni. The result is an all-black rubber affair that would be a Matrix nerd’s wet dream were it not for the subtle yellow stitching to break it all up.

Eastpak LAB Padded Pak’r Bag

We’re going to let you in on a secret: a lot of fashion is about telling you to buy things you don’t need. This is not one of those times. Eastpak’s sub-brand LAB features hyper-futuristic, functional bags that will see you through this season, the next, and the next, and the next. You get the idea.

Urbanears Plattan 2 Indigo Headphones

Tangles, whether they’re in your hair or on your headphones, are rather annoying. Thank goodness then that brands like Urbanears are cutting the cord. Better yet, the Scandinavian tech firm’s Plattan 2 model collapses down, so you don’t have to wear them constantly around your neck like an out of work DJ.

Mr P. Camp-Collar Printed Woven Shirt

The achingly cool in-house brand from Mr Porter has just released its fourth collection in time for high summer, and it appears that the same discerning eye for quality that goes into the e-tailer’s product selection has also gone into these seven pieces. It’s too hard to pick just one, but seeing as you’re twisting our arm, we’ll plump for this ochre embellished palm tree shirt with a crisp Cuban collar.

Onia Zach Suede Espadrille

It is thought that the espadrille came into existence in the early 14th century, which has us wondering where its contemporary, the sleeveless tabard, has gotten off to? Well, there’s a reason one survived and the other didn’t, as exemplified by this suede version of the shoe from Onia, which has a collapsible back so you can also wear it as a slip-on shoe.

River Island Bobby Ripped Jeans

Your mum may hate them, but there’s no getting away from the fact that ripped jeans are (still) having a bit of a moment. If you are going to pick a pair up, we’d recommend these from River Island which are cut slightly wider, so that’s a double whammy when it comes to hitting those denim trends.

Kent And Curwen Three Lions Vintage Cardigan

As the inventor of cricket whites and a master of the rugby shirt, Kent and Curwen has a long sporting history to be proud of. Plus there’s that whole being co-owned by David Beckham stuff. So of course it was going to put the Three Lions logo to work on pieces like this vintage cardigan.

7 For All Mankind Black Washed Denim Shirt

Now we love a classic shirt, don’t get us wrong, but there’s also a special place in our wardrobes for denim. This slim-fitting, dark wash option from 7 For all Mankind exudes an unprecedented cool and the sort of rugged manliness an Oxford button-down can never offer you.

Nicce Sage Emboss T-Shirt

What does a guy have to do to get a decent T-shirt around here? Well, just hop on along to Nicce, as the British streetwear label seems to be churning them out at a rate of knots including this ace sage option (the colour, not the herb) with an oh-so-fancy embossed logo on the front.

Orlebar Brown 007 Thunderball Swimshorts

From Daniel Craig’s slow-motion strut out of the sea to Sean Connery showing off his mountain of chest hair, James Bond and the subsequent actors who have played him love stylish swimwear. So too does Orlebar Brown, and the resulting collaboration between the pair is a match made in heaven, featuring various Bond flicks spread across the finest tailored shorts in the biz.

Grenfell Birkdale Grey Jacket

British outerwear firm Grenfell was one of the foremost champions of the Harrington jacket when the style was first introduced in the 1930s. What we’re trying to say is the brand knows what it’s doing when it comes to the short jacket game. Case in point: this new version named after the famous golf course and cut from lightweight wool.

Ace & Tate Hudson Limited Edition Sunglasses

Few five-year-olds do anything impressive, but in the same number of years, Ace & Tate has managed to become the go-to place to pick up cool and affordable eyewear. To celebrate its birthday, the Dutch brand has released a limited edition run of its classic Hudson shape in an aptly jubilant ‘fizz’ colour.

Levi’s Ringer Sportswear T-Shirt

Brands have been losing their mensweary minds over the 1980s trend lately, and it’s not hard to see why. Just look at the college vibes present in this logo tee from Levi’s. Throw on some retro sneakers and a varsity jacket and punch the air as you walk across a high school football ground to complete the look.

Weekday Lead Water Bloom Shirt

What a blooming lovely shirt Weekday has gone and made. Adapting the floral print trend and turning it into an artistic triumph of soft-touch cotton and delicate Van Gogh-esque bouquet, this is the sort of statement shirt our art school dreams were made out of.

Dr. Martens x Stüssy Penton Loafer

When it comes to collaborations from British brand Dr Martens, we’ve come to expect the unexpected. So actually we weren’t at all surprised when the bootmaker revealed a link up with boundary-pushing surfwear meets streetwear brand Stüssy. That’s not to say we weren’t bowled over by the resulting faux croc loafers, mind. Instant add-to-cart stuff.

Private White V.C. The Ventile Mac

Born in Manchester, Private White V.C. makes durable, high-quality pieces designed to withstand just about anything thrown at them. The timeless mac is a mainstay for the brand, and the latest model is made from a specially made cotton called Ventile, that promises to be the most waterproof and breathable around.

Zippo Passport Holder

Zippo is well-known for making the greatest lighters in the world. But the American brand has also started turning out other pieces of hot property, such as this handy passport holder, which comes in buttery soft leather and even has enough extra space to hold up to four cards.

Adexe They Grande Black And Gold Watch

Contrary to popular opinion, a classy watch doesn’t have to cost you the arm it’s supposed to go on. This tidy offering from British watch brand Adexe will certainly do the job, and while it might not have the same clout as a Patek Philippe, it will catch everyone’s eye in the room.

BoohooMAN It’s Coming Home T-Shirt

Lads, have you heard the news? Football is coming home. Celebrate the fact with this T-shirt from BoohooMAN that spells it out across your chest. It’s already sold out once, so get one quick before the Swedes knock us out in the quarters.

Miansai Anchor Bracelet

Ahoy there stylish mateys, and all aboard the men’s jewellery boat with this bracelet from Miami-based accessories label Miansai, which is made from maritime-grade rope and features an anchor on the end to tie everything together.
